Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had just gotten into work that morning when one of my co-workers came over to tell me that a plane had hit into the World Trade Center. He said it was on the television in the confrence room. Just as I entered the room the second plane hit the second tower. I was in a room with about 25 other co-workers. We were all pretty shoook up. I went back to my desk a few minutes later, and tried to call my youngest daughter who works in the times square area. She travels from New Jersey through the Lincoln Tunnel. As I was trying to reach her someone yelled over that they had hit the Pentagon in Washington. I was really scared, and I was beginging to get more frightened when I couldn.t reach my daughter, or my home. I finally got through to my husband on his cell phone. He had not heard anything about the World Trade Center, so I filled him in as to what I saw and heard on the TV and my raido. I told him I couldn't reach my daughter, and he tried to calm me down. He said he would try to reach her on his cell phone, and would call me back. I ran back and forth between the confrence room and my desk for the next hour watching what was happening on the TV and waiting for my husband or daughter to call me. At about 10:45 or so my son called me. He told me he and my daughter had gotten up late, so he tried to take her to Staten Island, New York, where she could catch a bus easier, and make it to work on time. They were stopped from going over the Outerbrider Crossing by Police Officers with shot guns. Everyone had to turn around and they did, and they called me as son as they got home. I was very glad they left late and didn't make it over that bridge, because the bus my daughter would have taken passed right in front of the World Trade Center. We were told by our office that we should go home, but when one of my co-workers tried to get to the train staten in Newark they were told by the police to run and get away from the station because of a bomb threat. I had no other was of getting home, so I tried to reach my husband again. It took me about another half hour to reach him, and he said he would come to get me, but didn't know how long it would take. He asked if I was alright where I was, and I said I thought so, and I told him I would wait outside my bulilding for him. It took him about and hour to reach me, but I was never so glad to see him. It took about 2 hous to get home, and the look of relief on my son and daughters face when they saw us pull up to the hous made me cry. By the time I had gotten home my borther in Calfiornia had called about 4 times and left messages. He was't sure if I still worked in the Workd Trade Center or not. My previous job was in the World Trade Center Tower 2. I workded there before the first bombing, and before this one. Evern if they rebild the towers again, I don't think I will press my luck a third time. Both of my daughters had worked in the World Trade Center, my youngest one just quit the temp job there 5 months earlier.

Tell us your story: i found it odd to see so many planes flying over me landing in the short hour and a half that i was on the football field at my school. upon going inside, i went across the street and got a breakfast taco, this is around 8:30 am... and then my friend told me that someone had flown a plane into the world trade center building. my first thought was that it was some sort of accident, not an act of terrorism. we then turned on the tv in the band hall, and began to watch the events unfold in front of us. as first period started at school, the teachers tried to control us and not allow us to watch tv. but we did anyway. and gradually an odd feeling of fear settled in. i didn't know what was happening only that terrorists had blown up part of american culture. i felt horrible and anxiously awaited the final bell, and sped home, trying to piece together what little information i had gotten about the events...

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: sleeping late.....with my toddler.......i awoke to numerous # of calls and messages on my answering machine all saying in a panic "turn on the t.v. now!we are being attacked!be careful...are you ok?" because no one really knew if this was just new york....or all over the u.s. etc...... I went to the t.v. and saw the plane hit on a replay and then i saw the second one hit.....and my mouth fell open and i could not shut it and my hand went to my mouth with utter speechlessness except to think " oh my god" and then biblical thoughts of " is the world ending? are we at war?" because i knew i had not thought of it in ages but right away i knew or thought that " GOD had removed his protective hand from the U.S." because we had let this world go such astray from our kids to our lifestyles etc with total acceptance by doing nothing or very little. I did not watch anything else on t.v. for 3 months,went to a revival about revelations every night for 30 days because i thought i needed to brush up on my religion and read the bible asking alot of questions that i had never asked and i am 40. I think it made everyone reevaluate what is important and how vunerable we are and how quick it all could be different in a instance with a blink of a eye .....so treasure what we have every moment. janet carver douglas,ga Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My story is way to long to put here. I was on the phone with my wife, telling her that a plane had crashed into the north tower and that I was alright (in the south tower)when the second plane hit. I told her that there had just been an explosion and she yelled at me to get out of there. I told her simply, that I would call her back. Two and a half hours later, almost two hours after the first collaspe, I was finally able to get in touch with her. Reading some of the stories here confirms an opinion of mine, that those people outside the trade center that day, had it worse than most of us who were inside.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had stopped by home here from a sales call earlier that morning. It wasn't an unusual day, but I can remember that it was so beautiful that morning. Not a cloud in the sky. I can remember turning on the the tv around 8:40 and looking at Good Morning America. Then around about 8:50am, a news bulletin cames across the screen. When the first pictures were shown, I couldn't believe it! I screamed to my wife. "Robin, an airplane has just flew into the Trade Center." She said what are you talking about. I said come here. Then she saw what had taken place. It left me numb and asking for answers. I couldn't just believe what happened here- in America. Are we so despised that people would try to destroy what we are all about. We have so many freedoms and opportunities, that some religious zealots would do the unthinkable. I know people who lost. They will never forget. I will never forget. This morning my 15yr old daughter asked me if I thought this would be in the history books. I responded yes, I would imagine it will be in all history books throughout the world.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11, 2001 a horriffic tragedy occured at the World Trade Center and across the Nation. This would be an event that would affect the lives of people near and far. Many were lost in this attack but many were also saved by todays hero's. While all this chaos was going on I was sitting in my second period class at the Bellevue Jr. High in Bellevue, Ohio. When the news came on we were all lost in confusion. Not knowing what was going on or what would happen next we all watched and listened in anticipation. When all was done we were left with lost lives, trapped men, women, and children under all the ruble and a wound that would forever scar those who had to witness or live through this event. One year has past and most people have tried to live theri life day by day the best they can. This will fovever be a tragedy that affects us all.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 10 I made an entry in my journal, rejoicing about the fact that I had a doctor's appointment the next morning and would be allowed to sleep in later than usual. My alarm went off around 8 AM on the morning of September 11. I listened to the radio as I got ready to leave; I was out of my room, the radio off by 8:20. My mom drove me to the doctor's office; we listened to a U2 tape in the car. After my appointment she drove me to the high school. It was around 9:15 when I walked in the front door. The entrance to our high school is a hallway with the main office on one side and the guidance office on the other side. The guidance office has glass walls and a TV. I remember seeing the janitors standing clustered around the TV and I wondered what was going on. I went to my locker and then to my history class. I had no idea what was going on. Every room in our school has a TV. I sat down in my seat and looked up, and my teacher came over to tell me what was going on. She was crying. My friend Lee and I sat in the back row of our AP US History class and watched the World Trade Center fall down. When the towers disappeared in a cloud of dust I remember my classmates saying "They're still standing, look, you can see them." I remember telling them "No, guys, they're gone, the towers are gone. We just watched them fall down. The World Trade Center is gone." "No," my friend Jess said, "They're still there..." We went to band. My band teacher is in the National Guard. He was pissed. "We're going to play," he said. "Everyone get out their instruments because we're going to play. If we don't play, they'll win..." We played. We watched CNN for the last ten minutes of class. For the rest of the day we watched CNN in every class. Most people skipped lunch and spent the period with a favorite teacher, watching CNN. In Chemistry, in English, in Pre-Calculus, we watched CNN, and everyone was silent. The principal came on the PA system around noon to tell everyone what was happening. Like we didn't already know. He was crying. You could hear it in his voice. One of the secretaries ran through the halls to the parking lot, sobbing. She had known somebody in the towers. Everyone e-mailed their parents and loved ones. For the first time ever, the bus ride home was silent. When I got home I parked myself in front of my computer. My father, a carpenter, was home early from work and was standing in front of the TV, watching CNN. I remember walking into the living room and seeing him standing, arms crossed over his chest, blocking the TV from my view, and feeling safe. I updated my weblog 15 times on September 11, some of which I'll include here: 6:29 PM: "This isn't real. This can't be real. I was just there this summer, this isn't real. They're shitting us. This is a bad April Fool's joke. It's not real." 7:24 PM: "I don't want to go to school tomorrow. I don't want to leave my house ever again." 7:55 PM: "I think something like this makes us realize how trivial most of the things in our day-to-day lives are. I mean, when it comes right down to it, who really gives a fuck if you do your math homework? Or if you are a little bit non-confrontational. Or if you don't like someone else's writing style. It doesn't matter if you're pro- or anti-RPS. If you like 'N Sync or Metallica. If you write het or slash or you don't write fic at all. If you're 16 or 46. When it comes down to it, we're a community, and that's really all that matters. All that extra stuff is just bullshit. All that posturing and all those boundaries and I-can't-like-you-because-you-like-her, and I-don't-like-you-because-you-don't-do-this. It's all bullshit. And it doesn't matter, not one bit. What matters is that we be here for each other, and keep up this wonderful outpouring of love and caring and support I've seen so far. This is a beautiful thing, everybody pulling together like this. I'm going to try to stay hopeful. Everything looks pretty fucking bad right now. But hey...when you hit rock bottom, the only way you can go is up, right?" 10:26 PM: "I'm trying not to go into my room because I know when I do I'm going to curl up in my bed and cry a lot and never come out. I'm scared. I...all my fucking friends. The world's gonna completely collapse around us, dude, and we have no fucking clue what it's gonna be like. I'm scared to death of going to school tomorrow because I don't want to pull into the parking lot and see Mr. Swanhall's parking space empty and think, he went. I don't want to know he's down there. Jesus, when I saw him this afternoon, I asked him about music lessons. I didn't even remember he was in the National Guard. Stupid, stupid me. And I want desperately to hear from Mr. Boyer. I mean, he goes to NYC a lot. It wouldn't be completely unheard of for him to be there. Oh, god, if anything's happened to him...I honestly don't know what I'm going to do. I trust him more than anyone in the fucking world. The enormity of today hasn't sunk in yet. I don't know if it ever will. I feel like I need to keep posting. Need to keep doing anything that isn't checking my e-mail every four seconds. I want my nice safe world back, the one where I worry about homework and lunch and where I'm going this weekend. The one where scary is a math test. God. Life is so fucking trivial. Tell someone you love them, and mean it. Tell someone who doesn't know already. And then tell people that already know. Because fuck, at any moment that person you have a crush on or the friend you're fighting with and still miss could be gone." 11:29 PM: "here's hoping that when i wake up, the world will have stopped collapsing and there will be an e-mail from mr. boyer in my inbox." I talked to my girlfriend on the phone that night and we cried together. My father bought 28 pairs of leather work gloves, put five empty taping buckets in the back of his truck, and made the three-hour drive to the city to see if he could help out with the cleanup effort. I wanted him to take me with him, but he refused. Instead, he brought me a flag pin he bought from a street vendor a block from the police blockade. It's been on my backpack ever since. My bank account was activated on September 10. I wrote my first check ever to the Red Cross. In mid-September, my family went to New Jersey, because my grandparents live there. On our way home we stopped at Eagle Rock, from which you could see the New York City skyline, including the World Trade Center, and it was so bizarre to not see the towers. An impromptu shrine had been set up at there. I remember a sculpture, probably made by some kindergartener. Two styrofoam towers glued to a piece of cardboard. On the cardboard, surrounding the towers, was a ragged clay heart. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

TURN ON THE RADIO/I RAN TO TURN ON THE RADIO,AND AT THAT TIME REALIZED PEOPLE WERE STANDING IN FRONT OF THE T.V. IN THE WAITING ROOM, IT WAS SO QUIET YOU COULD HEAR A PIN DROP. AFTER A SHORT WHILE, WE ALL REALIZED WE WERE BEING ATTACKED. BUT, NO ONE KNEW WHO WE WERE BEING ATTACKED BY. THE WHOLE DAY WAS JUST A BLURRR, WALKING AROUND DAZED AS THE EVENTS UNFOLDED. I RAN TO THE PHONE TO CALL MY PARENTS IN CALIFORNIA TO BE SURE THAT THEY WERE ALRIGHT, AND THEY TOO WERE SITTING IN FRONT OF THE TELEVISION STUNNED. THERE IS NO RATIONALIZATION FOR WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY. HOW CAN OTHER PEOPLE HATE US AMERICANS SOOOO MUCH? I DIDN'T KNOW ANYONE DIRECTLY INVOLVED THAT DAY, BUT, I SHED ALOT OF TEARS FOR MY FELLOW AMERICANS. IT IS A SAD DAY IN HISTORY. IT HAS TAKEN MY SENSE OF SAFETY AND FREEEDOM AWAY, AND MY LIFE WILL NEVER EVER BE THE SAME. I FEAR FOR WHAT EFFECT IT WILL HAVE ON MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. I PRAY DAILY FOR WORLD PEACE. I TRY NOT TO LIVE MY LIFE IN FEAR, FOR IF I DO, THEY TRULY HAVE WON. I TRY TO BE A LITTLE KINDER AND MORE UNDERSTANDING THAN I USED TO BE. I TRY TO HELP PEOPLE WHENEVER THE OPPORTUNITY ARISES.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I got up the morning of 9-11 at 5:00 AM. I told my dad goodbye, as he was going to the LA Airport to leave for his business trip. I went to seminary and then went to school. I walked into first period and the girl next to me turned to me and said, "Oh man, did you hear about the plane that crashed?" and I said to her, "What plane?" and she told me how she watched a plane on the news crash into one of the twin towers. She told me they thought only 6 people died. I contemplated that for a moment and said to her, "If a plane crashed and only six people died, did the people on the plane live? I don't think that?s possible." She shrugged and said she didn't know. I wanted to go home and watch the news. I wanted to see if my dad was okay. My first period teacher walked in and told us that both towers had crashed and that thousands were dead. I sat there. I couldn't think. It was not real; how could anything like this ever happen in the United Stated? At lunch with my friends, we swapped rumors that we had heard and our different frights. I was scared because I saw airplanes flying over the school and I was afraid they would come and kill us. I was also afraid for my dad. It turned out that my dad was fine, but he wasn't able to get into the airport because they had shut it down. The news was constantly on in my house, but I didn't want to watch it because I knew it would scare me. On September 11, 2002, I watched a special on it, and yes, it scared me a lot. I heard about a lot of things, like people jumping out of buildings so they wouldn't get burned, but I couldn't believe it until I saw the footage of someone ending their life at my school's September 11 Memorial assembly. I am glad I was alive to witness this tragic event, but I am also sad. I feel very privileged to live in this great country and I love America. I hope everyone else does also.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: By the time September came around, the temperature had been getting cold and my mood was rapidly declining, school had started not so long go, after all. I'm not too big on TV, so I hadn't watched the news that morning and hadn't heard anything about the tradgedy. On my way to school, I was half asleep, but the Radio was on and I heard occasional words from the news caster. "Now it looks like the enitre city of Manhattan has been put on lock down." It caught my attention with a pang of curiosity, but I hadn't heard anything about it, so I didn't think it was important. For the rest of the day I hear people in almost frantic frenzies talking to their friends or their teachers about what had happened. "Did you hear? The first tower has collapsed!" Tower? What tower? I didn't know, but now I knew something big was happening. I think it took until fifth period (Around 1:00) for me to finally figure it out. My spanish teacher turned on the TV and all of the stations were loop-playing the footage of the plane crashing into the North Tower. Explosions and screams could be heard around the camera, who's opperator had begun to turn and run. It was horrible, but I still wasn't sure what it was. Maybe an accident, maybe the start of WWIII. All of the students were given a letter from the head of the district assuring everyone that it would be alright. In the letter, it told us exactly what had happened. Now I did know what was going on. It was a horrible attack and I felt the essence of hatred toward those who could do such a thing, but I didn't know how bad it really was. The attacks on Columbine Highschool were closer and impacted me more at first. But the more I learned of the figures, 3000 deaths, so many lives impacted. The more I learned about the truth behind the attacks, the grotesque horror of the situation slowly became known. For a long time, longer than most people, I didn't know what was going on, I was one of the only people. But once I did, I was brought to tears because I could do nothing. I felt horrible and hoped, I still do, that Justice would be served. God bless America. Hold strong.

Then all of a sudden I seen the second plane hit I thought " Oh my God". I never expected it .It was the worst feeling I ever felt in my life. All those lives that were taken and I thought to myself,How could anyone do this? All day and week people looking for their love ones and they were no where to be found.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband and I were getting ready for work when the news flash came over TV. We went to CNN and watched in disbelief. We are both at retirement age and have lived through the years when our country was at war many times. Have had our fathers serving their country in the military during these wars. But this time it was happening right on our own soil. And one of our daughters lives very near Ground Zero and we were both concerned about her safety. We called and she told us she was OK, which made us feel better about her being so close. Both of us went to work and the whole day was a blur, Everyone was talking about what had happened and what was coming next. I am so proud to be an American and proud of the way we have handled ourselves throughout the last year. This has brought our country closer together and more aware that we are the most fortunate beings on earth.

I wrote this poem as a tribute to the internal struggles of those who lost loved ones on 9-11, both civilian and fire & rescue workers. It was written on the anniversary for our school's memorial - this Christmas I visited the exhibition in Washington D.C. and wanted to share my poem with others: "The Kiss They Left Behind" (c) 2002 by Lisa Dalrymple Few understand the pain of having only half your heart left. -Hollowed heart be filled with the joy of a young one's eyes. Demorilization becomes your demeanor, and confusion your familiarity. -Bewiledered mind be stilled by the comfort of another's understanding. You're left cold with no arms to warm you. -Broken body be healed by the warmth of the sun that keeps on rising and setting. You begin to wonder what there is to life now. -Spirit in despair be willed to teach your babies about their Daddy. And remember to tell them, when they're grown' that they're -the kiss they left behind.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: MY Sept. 11, 2001 I never would of thought a few short days after my birthday the world would be change forever. Well I woke up thinking that it would be another day at the Mahoing County Career and Tech Center in Canfield, Ohio. I thought that I would have some fun with friends and also go to my classes. Well this year I was lucky that I did not have a history class, but little did I know that I was going to be part of a chapter that will be written in a history book and remember forever. As I arrived at school I saw my friends and teachers and stuff not having the slightest clue what was going to happen in a few short hours. Thinking that it was any normal day I went along with my business. I walk to my first class, which was my lab and I got ready to go to work. As the three hours pass I work on my work, still clueless to what had happen around 9:00 am on that day. Soon enough it was brought to our attention that something bad was going on in New York City and at the Pentagon, but I did not think anything of it. Rumors went around the school that 2 planes crashed into the WTC buildings. Nothing seemed different as I walk through out the halls, but still clueless that as I stood there wondering if what they where saying was true, that the second plane has crashed in to the other tower and that the third plane crashed into the Pentagon. Well the day went on and rumors got stronger. As I sat in biology, one of my friends mom called and told him that he was allowed to leave that something bad happen in New York and to The Pentagon?then I knew that the rumors where true. We ran to the T.V. and turned it on to see a site that you would maybe see in a nightmare. The North and South building where smoking. Then we saw the Pentagon smoking as well. In the time of shock there where people mad, sad, and just plan out shocked. As we sat there we thought that it was over and that it can only get better but that is not what happen. Five minutes latter we just witness something that we thought would never happen. One of the WTC buildings falls from 110 stories in the air down to GROUND ZERO. After that everyone went home at 2:10 pm, we went home and turned on the T.V. and were wondering who would do a thing like that. But now on Sept. 11, 2002 we stand full guard ready for anything and everything. Even though the WTC buildings are not there and it dose not look right we will always remember that WE STAND UNITED!!!!!!

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was busy cleaning my house, and while working in the laundry room, I kept hearing my phone ringing over and over. After a while, I was able to answer and it was my sister telling me the World Trade Center had been attacked. By then it was 10:30am and the television was broadcasting the planes going into the towers over and over. My mother and best friend were calling me as well, and we were all frantically changing channels on the T.V. to find out exactly what was going on. My first instinct was to go and pick up my then 7 year old daughter from school. I called and the secretary told me that the school was in a complete lockdown and there was a staff member standing guard at each door. They were cancelling outdoor recesses for the day, and the older classes were aware of what was going on, but the younger classes, including my daughters were only told that something had happened in another state and that they were all ok. I asked the secretary what the other parents were doing, and she said only a small percentage of parents were pulling thier children out of school and were coaxing the rest of us to allow our children to maintain the normalcy of being at school so as not to alarm them even more. As much as it broke my heart to leave her there, I did. I called my husband to make sure he was ok, as he works quite closely to a company that, in the event of an all out attack, would most likely be hit. He said they were all in the break room watching the television as well and unable to concentrate on working. After few hours, he, along with the majority of the nation, was sent home graciously by his boss to spend time with the family. As I watched the television all I kept on thinking was, my childrens world will never be the same again. I was maintaining a manner of calm for the sake of my 3 year old son who was home with me at the time, until I heard a report that there was a bomb found in the New York City High school near the World Trade Center, and that was the final straw. I broke down in a heap on the floor and sobbed. Being a mother, any time a child is threatend, no matter what age, is too much for me to handle. I was relieved to find out hours later that it was not true. I walked to school that afternoon, knowing by then, that most of the parents were now home from work and picking up thier own children instead of opting for the bus that day. As we walked home, I asked her if she knew what was going on and she said that a building had been bombed in another state and that a few people had been killed. I gently explained to her what I knew had happened at the time, and her biggest concern was if there were any children in the buildings visiting their parents at work that morning. My husband and I turned off the television at that point and just sat in silence for a long time. Later that evening, we sat and watched the President address the nation to tell us what to do for the next day. He asked us to go to work, and to school, and to not let the terrorists win by keeping us from living our lives. My daughter had hoped that school would be cancelled the next day, but she said that if the President said to go, then she was ok with that. Here it is one year later, and my daughter has that day burned into her memory. We were on our way to school during the national moment of silence. I explained to her that it was at that exact moment that the first Tower was hit and that is when it all started. She sat quietly on the way to school, and when the moment was over, told me she was still glad to be in America even if we were attacked. Her school had a red, white and blue day and it was inspiring to see the sea of colors and flags the children were wearing that morning. The children observed a moment of silence after saying thier Pledge of Allegience then went to work on being children, safe and sound once again.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at work on that sunny morning in the JHS I worked in. I passed by the office and saw teachers frantically saying a plane hit the WTC. Others had just came in and witnessed it driving to work. My first reaction was to get in touch with all my friends who worked in the city. I ran outside and called my mom and instantly started crying and snuck my way home while frantically calling everyone. All answered except one, the one I was most worried about. We had known each other for years and recently began dating. We sat in my living room and watched it on tv with horror. In shock, I scurried my way back to work to find chaos. Teachers were crying, parents were frantically trying to take there kids home. I got myself together and did what I had to do. I held crying teacher's hands, kept the children and parents in order, called my friend still to no avail. I went into the teacher's lounge to find ashes settling on the lunch table. I looked out the window and saw that cars were all turning gray. I still couldn't register what was going on around me. I had a little radio which we set up in the lounge and listened to for new news. Finally, I came home and I recieved a call saying that my friend was in the building. Then reality hit. I would never hear from him again. I fell to the ground and cried until there were no tears left.
